Breakfast - Some form of egg based meal (poached egg, scrambled egg again, boiled egg etc...) and some berries.

Lunch - Prawn (Shrimp) salad

Dinner - Steak with shit loads of veg (primarily green and leafy).

Still working my way through the Paleo Solution by Robb Wolff but so far I'm enjoying it. Before I started I thought it was going to be hell giving up dairy and wheat and stuff like that, but it isn't actually that hard to be honest... I'll see if I still feel like that after 30 days lol.

Increase your fat intake, once you make the switch you will feel amazing. It should take a couple of days for your body to make the change to the new diet but once it does your energy will be almost limitless.

Paleo diet is the best hands down. I eat as much healthy food as I want, all while losing fat and gaining strength. It looks as though I have gained muscle as well, but I think a lot of that can be attributed to having a lower body fat percentage.

joemama1034 - Yea everyone debates whether or not potatoes are paleo. They are tubers and some people say they are some people say they aren't. Its a lot better than eating some bread though so more power to ya.

Yea thats what I figured.

I ate a little last night, like 3 or 4 baby potatoes. Compared to the amount of mashed potatoes I used to eat which was a small mountain I think I'll be OK cutting it down to a really small amount.

I've got pork and sweet potatoes with some greens tonight :)

My prawn salad for lunch was disappointing, didn't enjoy it that much...

Scrambled eggs, ham and some berries for breakfast again. I need some more ideas for breakfast because it looks like I'll be having eggs tomorrow lol. Might try boiling them this time.

Is it ok to still drink Apple juice and Orange juice on Paleo? I looked at the ingredients and it is 100% apples/oranges but I'm not sure. I would imagine it would be OK... Right?

Yes. We buy the "Simply" brand, it's just juice, not even water is added. I don't think it really matters who does the juicing or how fresh it is, as far as the "rules" go; just as long as it's pure.

That's the other thing, don't get too crazy worried about the rules. Paleo is more of a diet philosophy than a religion, or at least that's how it should be treated. When people get too deep into the "Caveman didn't have it, so I can't" mindset to the point where they won't eat a strawberry or a banana, that's a bit silly.

Sometimes the store doesn't have plantains, but I'm still gonna have my coconut flour muffins goddamnit!.

Most forms of cooking aren't really paleo. Hence the no potatoes. Cordain goes on at length about their anti-nutrients as well. He does, however, say that other raw roots should be a staple of the peleo diet (e.g. carrots).
